tactile atelier bookmark heels and lingerie

Why did I take pictures of women in high-heeled shoes and  lingerie, and sculpt these images into a second project? Because it’s beautiful imagery. It’s imagery that’s real in a sighted world.  When one blind proofreader ‘saw’ the picture of the high-heeled shoes, he/she couldn’t believe that this footwear actually exists.  Same with the underwire bra.  I find it so amazing that items and images that are a part of day to day living for those of us with sight, have not yet been invented for those who cannot see.

tactile mind featured on CBS show The Doctors

tactile mind the book will be featured for a minute, maybe two, this Friday, December 3 on ‘The Doctors’. I’m stoked; I receive an end of show credit for this!  The producers from CBS whom I dealt with were great.  The book got stuck in customs (in Milwaukee?) and didn’t make it to the taping on time, so I’m curious to see how  imagery was put together.  Sure it will be amazing-

tactile mind book article in la razon es

I know all press is considered to be good press, but how does that translate when they mis-spell your name and the title of your book – especially when you’ve already spent an hour answering questions via email, and your website can be found on-line?

Nov.30th- thank you for fixing these Silvia! Much appriciated!

tactile mind book in surface magazine, China

Article about tactile mind in surface* magazine, China.

Years ago when I was photographing fashion, I was always submitting photos to surface* ( U.S. branch), with the hope they would want to commission a shoot.

This is one of my most favorite fashion/design mags of all time~

Lisa J. Murphy discusses ‘tactile mind’ book on VoicePrint.

This is on today & most likely downloadable tomorrow.

Erotic Photographs Presented In Accessible Format For Blind,

This Sunday On Contact

Tactile Mind is a different kind of book, in many ways.

Tune in to Contact this Sunday at 4.30 p.m. when photographer and author Lisa Murphy pays a return visit to VoicePrint discussing the success of her unusual book, Tactile Mind. In May 2009, Murphy was interviewed by VoicePrint shortly after her book of erotic photographs in tactile graphics was published.

In the year since the book’s publication when VoicePrint was the first media outlet to interview Murphy, much of the mainstream media including CNN, BBC, Howard Stern, Playboy, National Post, GQ, Salon have given Murphy and her book a mixed reception. Her book—which makes erotic material accessible to the blind and vision-impaired– has been perceived as revolutionary by some and nothing more than a gimmick to others.

Murphy discusses the book, its reception and her plans for the future.

Hear more. Learn more. This Sunday at 4.30 p.m. and make Contact …on VoicePrint.

tactile mind book interview with RCN Radio, Colombia

I did a radio interview with RCN Radio a few days ago.  I’m hoping I got my ideas and concept of tactile mind across, as  the primary language of the interviewer was Spanish, and the static on my Blackberry can alter full statements by itself.
